I can throw down a .stp without the brim control feature. If you are working without brims, try this for subsequent prints for side B. Enclosure B no brim control.stl 175.57 kB · 1 download I'll slice that and throw it on the Ender 3V2 and see how it works! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wierd_w Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 I would personally advise to use a brim, but different strokes for different folks. Let me know how it turns out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I normally don’t use an attached brim, but if the original one was designed that way to require one so it can remove that extra one piece that goes around the edge, I’ll try it with an attached brim. I normally do a detached brim that goes around the item before it starts printing it to get any weirdness out of the way before the main object printing starts. I tried printing the one you posted without the brim several times, and it just wasn’t sticking. I’ll re-slice the original one with a brim and see if it improves things.

wierd_w Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 That is why I Incorporated the brim control feature. Cleaning up corners is better than cleaning up all the insides of the ribs, and there would not be enough adhesive contact without a brim. (As you found out. ) Without the feature, the slicer thinks all the ribs are 'perimeter', and puts brim in between them. With the feature, it generates brim more sanely, but this baked on control feature is a dirty kludge. I would use a 5mm or larger brim.

+dhe Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Looking at the card again, @Shift838 you did an amazing job with the silk screen, you also avoided TI's bad habit of running traces between pins. I wonder if that was a feature of the routing software they used. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always try to avoid running traces between pins if at all possible, but sometimes it is unavoidable. unless i increase the board size. But with this board that was not an issue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just find with my poor soldering / desoldering abilities, not having traces ran between pins lessens the probability of me messing up a trace or creating a solder bridge if no traces run between. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shift838 Posted May 11, 2022 Author Share Posted May 11, 2022 (edited) Look what got delivered today! My PCBs were just shipped Monday from overseas and I got them today! I only have a couple of other parts that need to come in now and I can start assembling. (IC sockets and 44 pin edgecard) I have been printing cases for the last couple of days. Still have some more to print while I wait for the remainder parts for the cards. I had enough parts to put one complete unit with 32k expansion board together and it all works like a charm...

I ordered a handful of FinalGrom boards to populate. I have most of the components just need to get one chip for each of them. of course it's the hardest to get right now. I did find 5 and they are on their way to me. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shift838 Posted May 20, 2022 Author Share Posted May 20, 2022 All boards have been built. Time to throw chips on them and wire up cables to test each order and mail them out to their new forever home! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shift838 Posted May 22, 2022 Author Share Posted May 22, 2022 Update.... All, I had a couple of power blips this afternoon and it seems to have affected my IDE card. I don't have time to dive into it right now to figure out what's wrong with it and added to that with all the cables I have to make for the 838-IOP. so, all 838-IOP cards will be tested on TI-99/4A F18 Enabled 32k Expansion Floppy Disk Controller 838-Speech TiPi If you have any questions, please contact me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
